Amazon EKS

Dear Community Members,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am reaching out to seek guidance and recommendations regarding tools that are best suited for managing Amazon EKS cluster resources. Specifically, I am exploring options that enable effective deployment and customization of resources within an EKS environment.

My objective is to provide my team with the necessary access and capabilities to deploy and customize resources within the AWS EKS cluster. I am keen to learn from the community's expertise and experiences in this area.

Could you kindly share your insights, suggestions, and experiences with tools or platforms that have proven effective for managing AWS EKS cluster resources? Any recommendations or best practices regarding access control and resource management within EKS would be greatly appreciated.

Your valuable input will not only assist in streamlining our resource management processes but will also contribute to our team's efficiency and effectiveness within the EKS environment.

Thank you in advance for your contributions and support.

Heroku was a decent choice to start a business, but at some point our platform was too big, too complex & too heterogenic, so Heroku started to be a constraint, not a benefit. First, we've started containerizing our apps with Docker to eliminate "works in my machine" syndrome & uniformize the environment setup. The first orchestration was composed with Docker Compose , but at some point it made sense to move it to Kubernetes. Fortunately, we've made a very good technical decision when starting our work with containers - all the container configuration & provisions HAD (since the beginning) to be done in code (Infrastructure as Code) - we've used Terraform & Ansible for that (correspondingly). This general trend of containerisation was accompanied by another, parallel & equally big project: migrating environments from Heroku to AWS: using Amazon EC2 , Amazon EKS, Amazon S3 & Amazon RDS.

We are moving all of our infrastructure to Amazon EKS on Kubernetes from our our Amazon EC2 hosts. This gives less management overhead, host security and networking and aides a lot of compliance headaches since it's a Serverless architecture.
